I saw in yesterdays paper where they are making a movie versions of "the House Of Dark Shadows", staring Johnny Depp, who shlould be, IMHO, great in it! The origional guy, drawing a blank on his name at the moment, will also have a small part. Can't wait! . They didn't give any dates on anything, but , still, it's coming!

Gee, I don't know... I like Johnny Depp and all... but as Barnabas Collins? I can't imagine anybody but Jonathan Frid in that role. But I'm willing to give it a chance. I could be wrong...

Yes. The original "Dark Shadows" series ran from 1966-1971, although it was never shown here in the UK as far as I can remember. A movie version, "House of Dark Shadows" was released in 1970.

The series was remade in 1991, but was forced off air by coverage of the first Gulf War and subsequently only ran 12 episodes.
